It doesn’t say it’s (only) illegal to commit murder wearing a bullet-proof vest, it says wearing a bullet-proof vest is a crime when the vest is used for committing the listed offences. That means if you commit murder wearing a bullet-proof vest, you can be prosecuted for both murder and unlawful use of a body vest.
